Hi Sana, There's no such thing as a standard volume. The key decision you have to take is what distance there should be between periodic images, for which the consensus view is that you need at least 2.0 nm. I typically use 2.25, corresponding roughly to 9 layers of water, so the protein can stret

Hi Mijiddorj, For a biologically stable alpha-helix, you should not use any restraints. If you want to stabilize a helix that is known to fold/unfold, then try something not too stiff. Usually like 100 kJ/mol/nm^2 should already do. But again, don't try to 'fix' a force field in this way. Cheers,

No, what Mark means is that if you equilibrated temperature AND pressure (NpT) there's no point in an NVT step, in which the pressure may go off again, even though it's unlikely to matter much, because the volume is already within proper range. However, there's the 'posre' part still, which sugges
